According to the Armenian media outlets, Baghdasaryan, in an open letter, condemned the persecution of her 58-year-old colleague.
Baghdasarian told RFE/RL she had chosen not to speak out for quite a long time as she feared that support and sympathy from Yerevan would only aggravate the situation of Yunus.
Leyla Yunus faced charges under articles #274, 178.3.2, 192.2.2 (illegal business), and her husband Arif Yunus 213.2.2 (evasion from payment of taxes), 320.2 (falsification of official documents), #274 (state betray) and 178.3.2(fraud) of the Criminal Code.
On July 30, Leyla Yunus was sentenced to pre-trial detention.
